A person who talks to a group to teach or share information, especially at a university or college.
Patrón de uso:

Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use "professor" for any university teacher. In many countries, "professor" is a higher academic rank, while "lecturer" is a more common job title for university teachers. Learners may also confuse "lecturer" with "lecture" and say *"He is a lecture"* instead of the correct *"He is a lecturer"*.
